Blues Traveler - Mount Normal lyrics

I propose to climb Mount Normal My expedition needs supply And fortune smiles upon the fool Who gives at least a try And in the quest to take Mount Normal I've no Sherpa for a guide It's the kind of trek that feels its way As I sacrifice my pride And deign to dare to risk rejection From what I don't know how to fake So much that I would give to this And I don't know what to take And I am scaling up Mount Normal And I get higher every day And I dream to be somebody else And every night I pray That I will stand atop Mount Normal Proudly survey the land and sea And have happy endings if I grasp And cling to normalcy Well I am halfway up Mount Normal From here at least it looks that way Because I notice in the newer eyes A fear I lack today And it occurred to me this summit Is something everybody seeks We're so aware the precipice While we dream about the peaks And I am scaling up Mount Normal And I get higher every day And I dream to be somebody else And every night I pray That I will stand atop Mount Normal Proudly survey the land and sea And have happy endings if I grasp And cling to normalcy And I'll chip at the icy obstacles Until this mountain is secure Then I will realize and find my way At least I'm reasonably sure When I am high atop Mount Normal I'll finally forgive the past And feel at once that I belong To normalcy at last And I am high atop Mount Normal And I get higher every day And I dream to be somebody else And every night I pray That I will stand atop Mount Normal Proudly survey the land and sea And have happy endings if I grasp And cling to normalcy And we are scaling up Mount Normal And we get higher every day And we dream to be somebody else And every night we pray Someday we'll stand atop Mount Normal Proudly survey the land and sea And have happy endings if we grasp And cling to normalcy
